The Dynasty Wire: Week 11

This week and every week going forward we’ll bring you several recommendations for players you should add to your dynasty rosters. We’ll mainly be targeting lower-owned guys who should be available in all but the deepest leagues. 

Be sure to check out all of our in-season content right here.

(There will be no recommended FAAB spends in this article, as those decisions always depend on your team’s needs)

Richard Rodgers (TE – PHI)

Rogers has been waiver wire surfing the last few weeks after putting up a goose egg in Week 8 and going on bye the following week. But, dropping him was clearly a mistake. He’s scored 14+ fantasy points in three of the last five weeks (one being a bye week) and continues to feast on a high target share and opportunity while the team lacks pass-catching talent.

Deonte Harris (WR – NOS)

Harris isn’t lighting the world on fire with his three to five fantasy points per week but this is Week 11 dynasty waivers where it’s slim pickings. Harris has consistently been involved in the game plan week to week which is encouraging for the 22-year-old second-year receiver. Harris is definitely worth a stash considering all the changes that could be coming in New Orleans in the coming off-season.  

Jordan Akins (TE – HOU)

Having tight end troubles? Jordan Akins could help you out a bit, but he is inconsistent for fantasy purposes so take this with a grain of salt. Akins caught five of six targets for 83 yards against the New England Patriots’ stout defense. Akins finished his first two games of the season with double-digit fantasy points but this is his first time reaching that mark since. 

Byron Pringle (WR – KC)

Pringle is stuck behind some of the NFL’s best talent in the passing game but he’s still receiving targets, which is good news for any young prospect. Pringle’s offensive snap counts increased to over 50% for the first time all year over the last four weeks. He’s not winning anyone fantasy matchups any time soon but I personally want to stash any promising prospective pass catcher for Patrick Mahomes on my dynasty roster.

Ty Johnson (RB – NYJ)

If your waiver wire is as thin as mine is you’re probably grasping at straws, too. So, why not take a flier on Ty Johnson? Johnson had minimal success in Detriot last year but found his way to the Jets after being released. La’Mical Perine has reportedly suffered a high ankle sprain that will sideline him for a few weeks opening the door for Johnson to showcase what he can do. If he can impress, maybe he can find a role here or somewhere else in the future. He’s going to be free just about everywhere.
